Nick Drake wesh

Il fut un temps où j'écoutais pas mal Nick Drake. Je ne sais pas trop pourquoi j'ai abandonné ses cds dans la fin fond de ma cédéthèque... Quoiqu'il en soit, j'ai eu comme un mystérieux besoin de réécouter Nick ce soir. J'avais oublié à quel point sa musique était belle et touchante, et quelle voix mélancolique... Juste magnifique. Ci dessous deux chansons sélectionnées par mes soins :)

I was born to love no one, no one to love me

Only the wind in the long green grass

The frost and the broken tree

I was made to love magic, all its wonder to know

But you all lost that magic, many many years ago

I was born to use my eyes, dream with the sun and the skies

To float away in a lifelong song

In the mist where melody flies

I was made to love magic, all its wonder to know

But you all lost that magic, many many years ago

I was born to sail away into a land of forever

Not to be tied to an old stone grave

In your land of never

Thoughts of rain at sunset, clouds of rainbow blue

Thoughts of sun on sand-dunes where the seabirds flew

This was our season and we said it couldn't end

But my love left with the rain

Thoughts of leaves in autumn falling from the trees

Thoughts of hoaring tree tops leading to the sea

This was our season, no lies and no pretend

But my love left with the rain

Thoughts of springtime rainfall touching flowers that bend

Thoughts of wind in willows, days that never end

This was our season and we said it couldn't end

But my love left with the rain

Rain's the way you move now, sun the way you seem

Leaves the way you wonder, flowers the way you dream

This was our season but sorrow waited around the bend

For my love left with the rain
